If it were me, I would look for a good runnign 3W60, or ZDZ60 and have some fun with it.

The Brillelli 366GT would be another possibility, but again with the balance issue... pull-pull would be required... etc..

BTW.. That's my Peakmodels Yak with the DL50 in the video posted in this thread.
Thanks for the info, do you think quality build and reliability wise the 3W can match the DA ? I was thinking in the 60cc or 58cc (EVO in this case) but warnings keep coming when you divert from the DA
